(File)Passengers at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport can now experience live Indian classical dance, music, and craft workshops as part of a new initiative titled DEL Vibes, launched by Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) Monday.The programme has been introduced across all terminals and aims to offer passengers, both domestic and international, a cultural experience during their travel. It features live performances of Indian classical dance forms, including Kathak and Bharatanatyam, as well as instrumental recitals that utilise tar shehnai, santoor, sitar, and sarangi. Travellers can also take part in hands-on craft sessions and artist-led demonstrations, according to DIAL.The performances are scheduled daily between 10 am and 6 pm and include 10–15 minutes of classical dance, 20–25 minutes of live music, and 15-minute curated craft experiences. The sessions are interspersed with filler segments anchored by emcees to engage with passengers and guide them through the programming, said DIAL.According to DIAL, the initiative is also aimed at easing travel-related stress and anxiety, especially for first-time flyers, by providing a calming and engaging environment. The airport described it as an effort to convert transit time into an opportunity for cultural immersion.“This is our way of giving every traveller a piece of India’s cultural richness even before they leave the airport,” said DIAL CEO Videh Kumar Jaipuriar. “It reflects our vision not just to manage and operate India’s busiest transit hub, but to create memorable experiences for passengers.”“The airport has been actively promoting Indian art and culture by commissioning large-scale installations that evoke the country’s rich heritage—such as the twelve mudra sculptures at Terminal 3, a 12-foot Surya Namaskar statue representing sun salutations, as well as murals and paintings by leading contemporary artists, and through exhibitions that featured works from celebrated painters and sculptors across India. The airport ensures international travellers experience a visual journey through Indian culture before entering the country,” the airport said in a statement.Stay updated with the latest - Click here to follow us on Instagram© The Indian Express Pvt Ltd
